It is Tuesday 11th April.

In the Holy Land, the Christians have finished celebrating Easter. For Muslims, the month of fasting over Ramadan is approaching its end. And Jews are in the middle of the festival of Passover, usually a time of happiness.

However, the incessant terror attacks that have led 18 people dead since early January is taking its toll. The latest incident saw the slaughter of three members of a British-Israeli family. They were identified as Jews, driving in the wrong area at the wrong time.

Last night, the Israeli Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu, addressed the nation. He had an opportunity to unite. He had a platform to motivate a nation, wounded by discord over his policies and the bullets of terrorists. In a televised address, which I did not watch, the PM attributed these murderous acts to the protest movement against his attempts to reform the judiciary. And he went on to mock the opposition for their achievements when in power last year.

In other words, Netanyahu blamed the deaths on his political opponents.

These opponents include:

• Most previous chiefs-of-staff, leaders of the Mossad, and the police force.
• Most former judges of the High Court.
• Most leading economists
• Political leaders in Germany, the UK, France and the USA – to name a few.
• And………….. well the list is long. But let us just say that of the hundreds of thousands that have protested on the streets of the country over the past three months, the numbers include members of my family. As far as I know, our only criminal act to date has been a driving fine or two.

So what is Bibi saying to me? Is he really accusing me of plotting and financing the murder of innocents? Obviously not. I assuming he is trying to capture some form of domestic political initiative.

After all, according to all political opinion polls, if an election were held today, the ruling coalition would be left in the gutter. In fact, the numbers are so bad that the Netanyahu’s Likud party would no lose its premier status in the Kenesset, a position that it has held for over a decade.

Netanyahu can blame whoever he wants. I don’t care.

However, by attempting to deflect the blame on to others, Netanyahu is admitting that he cannot and will not take responsibility. Responsibility for what?

• The worsening internal security situation
• The worsening defense situation on the northern and Gaza borders
• Direct investment form overseas that is drying up.
• His capitulation to his Minister of Internal Security that has demanded funding for a new police force under his personal control.
• And much more.

Bibi – you want me to accept the blame? Who gives a damn, except your inner cabal, who probably does not even know how much a carton of milk costs.

But leadership requires responsibility, and you can’t take that. You don’t have it any more.

Go home to your luxurious villa. Go, now!
